LHS STUDENT SERVICES CENTER

As school counselors, we believe our role is significant in creating a personal welcoming environment for each and every student. Our goal is to ensure our students have the support needed to maximize their potential as learners. We can accomplish this by addressing their development in the areas of academic performance, social-emotional wellness, and career exploration through pro-active programming, outreach, and support. The counseling department welcomes your questions or concerns.

Lexington High School Department of Guidance and Counseling is committed to meeting the unique intellectual, physical, social and emotional needs of each student. The guidance counselors are student advocates. A variety of services are provided to support this effort. All parents are reminded to frequently check the Student Services link on the Lexington High School website where information on testing, scholarships, financial aid and important upcoming events can be found.

If students need help in any way, they should contact their counselor. Students can arrange appointments through the Student Services Secretary. After hours appointments can be arranged with the individual counselors. Counselor Alphabet Breakdown:

Counselors assist students in the college selection process. Beginning in the junior year, students are instructed as to the appropriate sequence of activities they need to follow in order to identify colleges that match their needs. Counselors present information through large group assemblies, classroom presentations, guidance activities, and individual conferences. Students learn how to access materials that include computer search programs, college guide books, and view books. These resources are available in the Student Services Office. Students are also encouraged to attend the annual college fair in mid-September at the OSU-M branch as well as mid-April at Ashland University. The counselors provide small group sessions with seniors to guide senior students through the college application process.

Lexington High School Welcomes You to the Military Family Resource Page!

The Dealhack Military Discount Guide is the result of a quarterly survey of brands that offer active-duty military and veteran discounts. Every three months, each and every store on this list is independently verified. The list is then conveniently broken down into categories, and can also be saved in PDF form and used as the ultimate reference guide for active military and veteran discounts.

Our Military Kids, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, supports children, ages 5-12th grade, of deployed National Guard and Reserve service members and children of wounded warriors from all service branches. Grants pay for participation in activities that help children cope with stress and anxiety while their parents are recovering or absent.

The Military Child Education Coalition or MCEC is a worldwide non-profit organization whose goal is to serve as a model of positive leadership and advocacy for all military children. Their mission is to ensure inclusive, quality educational experiences and opportunities for all military children affected by mobility, family separation, and transition. They provide responsive and relevant support systems and resources such as Students at the Center as well as free professional training and programs such as Student 2 Student and Parent 2 Parent for families in transition.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America know that times of national crisis can dramatically disrupt a military family’s life. The MISSION: Youth Outreach partnership supports military youth, ages 6 to 18 who are coping with a deployed parent by creating a positive, supportive network. Through this partnership, children of National Guard, Reserve, and Active Duty families, who do not live near or have access to a military Youth Center, can receive a free membership to their local Boys & Girls Club.

NMFA is the voice of military families because, for 48 years, we have proven that we stand behind service members, their spouses, and their children. Our Association is the “go to” source for Administration Officials, Members of Congress, and key decision makers when they want to understand the issues facing our families.

The VFW Auxiliary is proud to offer scholarships and participate in scholarship contests that promote patriotism, assist students in furthering their education and help students reach their full potential.
